I went there today, the food is very normal, the place is very small and not interesting at all, the most thing that bothered me is when you're filling your dishes the mothers and workers don't stop starring at you untill you leave the kitchen, this is very bad and disturbing in self-service restaurant.

Hello,
Thanks for taking time to offer your feedback of Tawlet.
Here's the Tawlet Story:
Tawlet is an extension of Souk El Tayeb, Lebanon's Farmers Market. Our vision is to celebrate the food and traditions that unite communities and support small-scale farmers and producers and the culture of sustainable agriculture. Tawlet is the Farmer's Table - set in a small...

It is a nice Lebanese style all you can eat buffet with mostly vegetarian variety. However, try to get there early as they do not replenish when a dish is done and usually tasty dishes finish first. Today for example the stuffed vine leaves with cutlets had no more cutlets by the time we arrived which was 2:00 pm. Their...

The Tawlet was recommended as a must try place, so we did try it and we were not disappointed. The place is homey very clean, the staff is very welcoming. More importantly the food was very tasty with a descent selection between the salads, main dishes and desserts. True home food quality. I highly recommend this place if you are...

This was one of the highlights of our trip. A beautiful setting, with simple benches and large windows and casual self-service system. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Good location just off Armenia Street.
We had salads, rice, lentils, beans, pastries, meatballs and sausages, all homemade and wonderfully flavoured. You sit quite close to other diners...

A lot of reviews mention the price tag which is 50000 Lebanese Pounds per person (30 USD) without service or the customary tea or coffee at the end

We visited this place on recommendation on Trip advisor. We were not disappointed at all. The food is wonderful the service was amazing. The place has a very positive vibe . Though it was a bit difficult to track the location. Few signs on Main road would help.
Must try TAWLET when you are in Beirut.

This is a wonderful little restaurant ideal fro brunch or a wonderfully varied lunch. Souk el Tayeb started as a farmers market in 2004, and now offers a range of delicious regional Lebanese dishes and desserts, as well as preserves, jams and sweets that can be bought in the restaurant. The concept is to offer fresh, organic food, with dishes changing weekly, so that one can savour different dishes from around Lebanon. Brunch is offered on Saturday, and during the week a wonderful lunch buffet is offered at a set price, including main courses, appetizers and salads, as well as desserts.The food is nothing short of delicious and the service impeccable and very friendly. The space is light and laid back, with a mixed crowd of lunching ladies, young professionals and some business men, all seamlessly blending in together. There is also a little outside space with a couple of tables.
